Stan Collymore has warned FIFA and football’s continental bodies that they have to get a grip on the 'degradation of fan behaviour' before something major happens.
More unsavoury incidents occurred at the Old Firm derby on Sunday, when glass bottles were thrown on to the Ibrox pitch from sections of the home crowd. That followed the disgusting scenes witnessed in Mexico last month when the clash between Queretaro and Atlas had to be abandoned as rioting fans fought each other in the stands and on the pitch.
There has also been more than one episode in England this season, with coins thrown at Everton during the game against Liverpool, and a Leicester fan assaulting three Nottingham Forest players. And Mirror Sport columnist Collymore, the former Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa star, wants the game’s governing bodies to tackle the issue before it’s too late.
